These People Truly Have No Limits

These People Truly Have No Limits
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressive...g-in-hell/
Anthony Bourdain is one of my heros. He is the reason I am currently in culinary school in New Orleans. For people to immediately start spewing hate like this after a troubled man's tragic suicide is truly unbelievable, though I shouldn't really be surprised anymore, really. RIP Mr. Bourdain.

May his soul rest in peace and I pray God favors him well and has mercy on his soul, but I don't know his fate. Was a hero of mine as well.

Westboro Baptist Church. No surprise. They think everyone is going to hell. Who cares.

I doubt very much that Bourdain is 'burning in hell'. If he's there at all, he's probably being pan-seared, preparatory to being served with a nice aioli remoulade.

They say the same thing about all celebrity atheists who die.

They say the same about a lot of christian/believers that die.

I would think he would like to be served in a nice Pho with pork cracklins. Then again, it is hell, so it may be a McDonald's hamburger.

The WBC thinks child school shooting victims, and all LGBTQ people, such as myself, are going too. So, no surprises there. What happened to do not judge thy neighbor? All they want is attention, and the media gives it to them.

Actually, the idea that people who kill themselves are automatically damned is a long-standing doctrine in Christianity. St. Augustine condemned the act in The City of God and about a century later, the doctrine became mainstream in Christianity. Dante (Inferno, Canto 13) put them in Hell, where they turned into oak trees and were the only souls exempt from bodily resurrection during the final judgment. It was only LAST JULY that the Church of England ended its ban on allowing a Christian burial for those who killed themselves.

To this day, the Catholic Church says of suicide:


2281 Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.

2325 Suicide is seriously contrary to justice, hope, and charity. It is forbidden by the fifth commandment.

It is considered a mortal sin, and due to the lack of an opportunity for Confession to absolve that sin, they are generally considered among the damned. To be fair, elsewhere, they point out that mental problems may diminish their culpability, but this does not invalidate the doctrines above. The Church has, since 1983, allowed suicides to be given a Catholic burial, largely to keep the families from further aggravation.

I've focused mostly on Catholicism, but many other denominations, especially conservative ones (including the Lutheran church I grew up in, though they seem to hedge their bets more than usual), tend to have similar views on suicide. This shit is actually far more mainstream than one might think.

This is the kind of path these sort of absolutist morals lead to. Remember, if he said the magic words things would be completely different though.
